    Ahoj, díky za video. Zrovna řeším rozměrově velmi podobnou saunu a celkově hodně obdobné řešení, tak jsem rád, že jsem narazil na tohle video. Pokud se můžu zeptat, dostane se teplota v sauně s těmito kamny na cca 100 stupňů? Zvažuji, jaké použít dveře, zda takové celosklo, nebo nebo dřevěné s izolací a dvojsklem. Zvažoval bys nyní jiné dveře, nebo jsi s těmito spokojený? Jak po těch letech vypadají palubky za kamny? Furt dumám nad nějakou akumulační ochrannou stěnou, ale je fakt, že já chci použít kamna na zeď, tak nevím, jestli se dá srovnávat. Předem díky a měj se. Robert

    Dobrý den Marku. Děkuji za video. Mám stejný vermikompostér ale v hnědé barvě. Koupila jsem ho začátkem dubna. Jelikož je hnědý tak je při otevření viditelně obsypán na bocí těmi bílými broučky. Mně se jejich množství ale zdá dost velké, je to v pořádku? Také mám pocit, že žížaly skoro nejí. Všude čtu jak je krmí 1x za týden, ale mně přijde, že mají stále stejné množství nezpracovaných zbytků. Kontrolovala jsem zda žijí a jsou ok. Vaše video mě teď překvapilo tím kolik zbytků jste neustále přidával. Jsem tedy teď nalomená zda prostě zbytky pravidelně přidávat bez ohledu zda vidím zda ty předchozí byly zpracovány. Nějak se mi to vermikompostování nedaří. Mimochodem - také jsem začínala s tím, že jsem ho měla venku, ale žížaly utíkaly. Teď jak je v interiéru je klid. Díky za rady.

    • @MarekVacek
      @MarekVacek 5 месяцев назад

      Co se týče rychlosti zpracování, tak to bude asi především počtem žížal. Ta žížala žije překvapivě dlouho, až několik let, takže u vás teď ze začátku bude jejich množství pořád přibývat a s tím i jejich spotřeba "jídla". Já to tam sypu i když to minulé ještě není zpracováno. Občas je tam třeba i nějaká plíseň, ale naučil jsem se to moc neřešit a ty žížaly si s tím vždy nějak poradily. Ti bílí broučci se objevují a pak zase mizí, je to prostě jakási sezónní "havěť".

    Hi Marek. Great video. Question about led stripes you used - any specific kind? Waterproof? Covered with silicone? Thanks in advance for your answer.

    • @MarekVacek
      @MarekVacek 7 месяцев назад

      Soooo, this a bit tricky one to answer: LED strips are designed to run up to about 60°C (140F). On the internet people will argue that they become damaged over 100°C (210F). So, if you go by the manual, they are surely to fail, right? Now, that we have this out of the way I will tell you this: I run a regular RGBW LED strip in a chunky aluminium profile and it's fine (more than 4 years now). I spoke to professional sauna installers and they told me they run basic LED strips in commercial saunas and they are fine as well. The special IP68 or whatever high temp strips are just not worth the hassle or the cost. If the LEDs fail somewhere down the line, it will be cheaper to replace than the special ones.

      Hello, it's been about 4 years and all is well. I don't use it all that often, as it's in my holiday house. Maybe 20-30 times a year. Wood fiber was simply not known to me at the time, so that's why. Around here mineral wool is "the" insulation that everybody uses, so that's what I was told by guys building saunas professionally. I think wood fiber will do you the same service.

    It is not worm tea it is leachate. Leachate is anaerobic and is mostly bad. Real compost tea aerobic is made with finished compost and most require an air pump or some method to get constant air in like mixing with a stick. Compost tea must be used immediately after air flow stops.

      Found this: "Worm tea is a light amber liquid that comes from the worm farm, it is aerobic and has been through the gut of healthy worms. Leachate is a dark, sometimes foul smelling liquid that has not been through the gut of healthy worms and so contains bacteria that is not safe." So I guess it would depend of the balance in the worm farm, so it's not rotting food scraps that are causing the liquid?

    Your sauna looks great! Thanks for all the great info. I've taken a bunch of notes, just from this video, to try to come up with a coherent plan for my own build. I don't think I've seen anybody else put foil on the exterior too. What was your rationale for that? A couple things that I've seen other builders do that you didn't: 1. cement board or brick behind the heater. 2. drain in the floor and sloped floor under the wooden tiles. 3. slats between the interior foil and the interior wood to allow moisture to drain. 4. drip edge to channel moisture from behind the interior wood onto concrete floor. Did you consider any of those possibilities, and if so, what were your reasons for choosing not to?

    • @MarekVacek
      @MarekVacek 9 месяцев назад

      Thx for the compliments. ad. foil on the outside There were month between putting the insulation in and me getting to cladding on, so that was just a temporary "anti-rain" measure. ad. cement boards around the heater You don't need it. All the heaters are designed with wood cladding in mind. ad. drain It's not necessary, the amount of water that ends up on the floor, will just dry out. ad. slats/gap between cladding and foil That's the number one complaint in the comments. However I reviewed several technical drawings from several sources and truth is that most sources do not include this gap. So I would put this in the category "nice to have, but not necessary". ad. drip edge You could definitely do that, but I wouldn't sweat it. The odd drop here and there isn't enought to cause issues. You have to realize that even if you pour water on the heater it actually isn't all that humid inside the sauna. I have a gauge on the wall and once you heat up the sauna the moisture level goes down rapidly and it never gets too high during operation, even when you go crazy with the "steam hits". People imagine crazy levels of condensation in sauna, but in my experience it's surprisingly not the case. I don't seem to find any noticable condensation points anywhere.

    • @PeeterJoot
      @PeeterJoot 9 месяцев назад

      Thanks for the answers! For the slats, drip edge and drain, perhaps that is only required if you also use the sauna for showering. My Vanaema's indoor sauna was like that (it must have also had a drain.) For off-grid sauna's, I've seen wooden sauna heaters with a water repository specifically designed to facilitate bathing, so I guess if you bought one of those, then you'd also have to think about drainage.
